for packaging with installation of all dependencies

Install Samba

Code: Select all

sudo xbps-install -S samba smbclient cifs-utils gvfs-smb

KLV-Airedale

It seems to work, I need to have someone who knows test it, I don't remember how it works on Airedale

the configuration file has been slightly modified

in /etc/samba/smb.conf

Code: Select all

#this is a very simple smb.conf to get you started
#coutesy rcrsn51 and gcmartin
[global]
	workgroup = Workgroup
	netbios name = void-live
	server string = KLV-Airedale Server
	security = user
	map to guest = Bad Password
	printing = cups
	printcap name = cups
	load printers = yes
	client min protocol = NT1
        server min protocol = LANMAN1

[smbvoid]
	path = /root/smbvoid
	comment = Shared files
	writable = yes


[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	browseable = no
	guest ok = yes
	writable = no
	printable = yes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code: Select all

Create a user group:

sudo groupadd -r sambauser

Code: Select all

Add the user1 to the sambauser group:

sudo gpasswd sambauser -a spot

Code: Select all

vNow create samba share user:

sudo smbpasswd -a spot

New SMB password: <input password >
Retype new SMB password: <repeat password>

Just some ideas for future KL KDEs. If they match what you feel is useful, run with them.

1. /etc/samba should be in OOTB filesystem

2. Your 'sample' smb.conf should be within /etc/samba...maybe named smb.conf.sample such that it wont be over-layed when SAMBA is added to the running system.

   • /root/smbvoid from the conf should be present in KDE filesystem, OOTB, too.

   • /var/spool/samba from the conf should be present in KDE filesystem, OOTB, too.

This precludes a general user mandated to adding SAMBA needs to the system via the terminal.

Just some ideas.

@Sofiya I will send you a PM soon on something that could address one of your concerns on this package.

Network

@Clarity

The network section is in Dolphin

what network are you talking about can you clearly interpret

[Clarity]

Network category in distro's desktop menu: 2 examples: from a PUP and the area of KDE I was referring.

if a Network category surfaced in the Menu in the future, it would be a Puppy Linux Forum distro's exclusive; making it distinctly PLDF's KL KDE with that category section.

It is not necessary, as items could be added in other existing Menu sections
